Md Abdul Hakim - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers solid performance and user adaptability but needs better pricing options and local support
BeyondTrust is a strong, compliance-driven solution with excellent market recognition (Gartner, Peers, etc.), making it appealing for Bangladeshi enterprises. However, some key improvements could accelerate adoption: Areas for Improvement: Pricing & Local Affordability While the product’s capabilities justify its value, cost remains a barrier for many Bangladeshi organizations. Competitive pricing or regional discounts would make it more accessible. Local Support & Partnerships Currently, lack of local partners or trainers creates delays in support, implementation, and pricing negotiations. Establishing a Bangladesh-based support team or authorized resellers would improve responsiveness and trust. Enhanced Onboarding & Training Offering localized training programs (in Bengali/English) and documentation would help IT teams deploy and manage the solution more efficiently. Recommendations for Next Release: Introduce tiered pricing for emerging markets like Bangladesh. Develop a partner network in Bangladesh for faster service and sales. Add simplified dashboards for easier monitoring by non-technical staff. Final Note: BeyondTrust is already a top-tier PAM solution, but addressing these gaps would solidify its leadership in Bangladesh’s growing cybersecurity market.

A reliable solution with great password and session management
The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BeyondTrust has very good integrations with quite a lot of security vendors such as SailPoint, IBM, FortiGuard, Splunk, etc."
"The privileged access and the application control are helpful in making sure we have good, robust challenge responses. Blacklisting with trusted application protection is also beneficial for us."
"It scales easily and the product is stable."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"The implementation is quite easy because the documents are always online."
"AI adds value by automating the onboarding of assets and using smart rules to assign privileges."
"The tool is easy to use and deploy. It has PAM capabilities like privilege access. The solution helps with the management of third parties and vendors. It is an effective solution compared to other alternatives."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."
"The most valuable features are session and password management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"The program updates are very rare and the frequency is too far apart to take care of bug fixes and adding the latest features."
"The weaknesses are related to the effort required to migrate from existing technologies or having no Privilege Access Management (PAM) at all to adopting technologies like BeyondTrust. It involves changes in processes and can take a significant amount of time, typically six to twelve months."
"The help system should be improved to provide a quick help guide with each tab within the solution, which explains what each particular function does."
"Improvements could focus on adding more AI features to automate processes that are currently manual or challenging for end users."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"We use a program to automate all of this, but it's not a default feature of BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management."
"A valuable enhancement could be the capability to deploy agents directly through the console."
"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."
"Product management should be improved."
"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive compared to its competitors."
"The product’s licensing is different for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool’s licensing is yearly."
"The solution's pricing is high."
"I'm sure everyone should have the cluster environment, which means more expensive, anyway, cheaper than the other solutions."
"PowerBroker for a Mac client is three times the price of the Windows version."
"It was very expensive."
"It is relatively more cost-effective compared to the competing product."
"What BeyondTrust was providing was user-based licensing which was a great benefit from the client point of view. Recently, I don't know why, the licensing model has been changed, and that is the reason that they have lost a bit of their edge when it comes to the PAM, against our competition. The asset-based licensing, from the user's point of view, is not beneficial. The licensing should be based on the users. The greater the number of users, the greater will be the load and the greater the scalability problems. I presume that is why the licensing model has changed."
